While bulls remain in control, price action has stalled beneath this key resistance, exposing a lack of decisive momentum. After a strong 20% rally since late June, the market now waits for a breakout confirmation to extend the uptrend.<\/p>\n<p>Sentiment remains overwhelmingly bullish, driven by increased adoption, legal clarity in the US, and favorable macroeconomic developments. However, recent on-chain and exchange data show a noticeable decline in spot buying pressure. This divergence between sentiment and real demand suggests that bulls may be hesitating to enter at current levels, possibly due to expectations of a correction or profit-taking near the highs.<\/p>\n<p>The price structure remains bullish as long as <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-growth-rate-indicator-signals-bullish-continuation-analyst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">BTC<\/a> holds above the $115K support zone, but the inability to break $123K raises concerns about a possible short-term reversal or continued sideways action. For now, Bitcoin\u2019s trend remains intact, but a clear surge in volume and buying activity will be required to reclaim new highs and maintain bullish momentum.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Sentiment Stays Bullish, But Buying Pressure Fades<\/h2>\n<p>Top crypto analyst Axel Adler recently shared an update on the Bitcoin Advanced Sentiment Index, offering key <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AxelAdlerJr\/status\/1947154626517631071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">insights<\/a> into the current market psychology. According to Adler, the index currently reads 64%, signaling that sentiment remains solidly bullish. However, he noted a critical caveat: while the market leans toward buying, bulls appear to lack the aggression needed to push Bitcoin decisively above its all-time high of $123,000.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-536160 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_41b0e6.jpeg?resize=980%2C551\" alt=\"Bitcoin Advanced Sentiment Index | Source: Axel Adler on X\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_41b0e6.jpeg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_41b0e6.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_41b0e6.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_41b0e6.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_41b0e6.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_41b0e6.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>This hesitation is consistent with what\u2019s unfolding in the charts. After a sharp rally of over 20% since late June, Bitcoin is now consolidating in a tight range between $115K and $120K. While this structure suggests strength, the lack of follow-through buying at higher levels reflects caution among investors. It appears that market participants are waiting for a clear catalyst before positioning more aggressively.<\/p>\n<p>The current compression in price action could precede a large move, as periods of low volatility at elevated levels often do. Traders should prepare for a breakout in either direction. While the overall trend and sentiment favor upside continuation, the possibility of a correction remains in play, particularly if sentiment begins to fade or macro conditions shift unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Consolidates Near All-Time Highs<\/h2>\n<p>The daily chart shows Bitcoin consolidating just below its all-time high of $123,000, trading at $118,636 at the time of writing. The recent price action suggests strong bullish control, but the lack of a decisive breakout above the $122,077 resistance has introduced short-term uncertainty. The structure remains clearly bullish, with BTC forming higher highs and higher lows since the rebound from the March lows near $97,000.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-536169 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTCUSD_2025-07-21_06-27-29.png?resize=980%2C570\" alt=\"BTC consolidates in a range | Source: BTCUSDT chart on TradingView\" width=\"980\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTCUSD_2025-07-21_06-27-29.png?w=2368 2368w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTCUSD_2025-07-21_06-27-29.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTCUSD_2025-07-21_06-27-29.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTCUSD_2025-07-21_06-27-29.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTCUSD_2025-07-21_06-27-29.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTCUSD_2025-07-21_06-27-29.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTCUSD_2025-07-21_06-27-29.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTCUSD_2025-07-21_06-27-29.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>Notably, Bitcoin is holding well above the 50-day ($109,225), 100-day ($103,913), and 200-day ($97,949) moving averages. These levels now serve as layered support, reinforcing the long-term bullish trend. The ongoing consolidation above $115,724 suggests that bulls are defending this zone with conviction.<\/p>\n<p>However, volume has not followed through as strongly during this consolidation phase, a sign that some market participants are waiting for confirmation before committing new capital. If BTC breaks above $122,077 with strong volume, it could trigger a breakout and price discovery toward higher levels. On the flip side, a break below $115,724 could lead to a deeper retracement toward the 50-day MA.<\/p>\n<p>Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin is facing a pivotal moment as it hovers just below the $123,000 all-time high.
